With all the fun parties and celebrations over, Spike Aerospace has been reflecting on what we accomplished in 2016 and what is ahead in 2017. It is amazing how quickly successes can get forgotten after day-to-day meetings, travel, and other efforts. Looking back, it was a fantastic and successful year, with 2017 looking even more [...]

There have been a lot of unexpected headlines and press lately about Spike Aerospace moving to Washington State and building a manufacturing facility there for the S-512 Quiet Supersonic Jet. It is time to set the record straight; perhaps this is long overdue. Spike Aerospace is in the very early stages of selecting a location for our [...]

What an honor it was last week to meet with Washington State Governor Jay Inslee, who personally was very interested in supersonic aviation. We had a great conversation about the impact supersonic flight will have on policy, economic growth, and business in the region. Governor Inslee was happy to hear that we had toured Paine Field [...]

In the last six months, there have been more articles on supersonic aircraft than I can remember reading in the past six years. If you believe everything you read, soon there will be many options to get you from NYC to London in seconds flat. The only thing we haven't yet seen a patent announcement [...]

That alone makes my [...]

I challenge you to mentor a student and help them to really understand a challenging concept. Do it for just one semester - I bet you will want to do it for longer. Just about everyone over the age of four or five knows how to use a paintbrush and some paint. Kids understand [...]

It has been a quite a few months since our last announcement, and I’m sure many folks are wondering what is happening at Spike Aerospace. I’m happy to let you know that we have been very busy working on multiple aspects of the Spike S-512 Quiet Supersonic Jet. We continue to advance the aircraft design, [...]

It is always wonderful to have a chance to kick back and enjoy hot dogs and a cold beer with friends and family. As you enjoy the day, take a moment to think of, and thank, those families who have lost their loved ones defending our country and way of life. I can't imagine how difficult the holidays [...]

Yesterday, Richard Branson discussed his plans to develop a plane that can fly from NYC to Tokyo in one hour. Okay, he didn't spell out when he is going to do this, but he wants to make it a reality in his lifetime. At 63, he still has at least another 50 years to [...]
